Just curious how often this comes up. I seem to remember it coming up at Arkansas a few years ago now.

Reason I ask is that Jackson Jeffcoat (5 Star DE) is a major recruit this season, and wouldn't ya know it his father is interviewing at Oklahoma.

Maybe his dad would have gotten that job on his own, I don't really know much about the guy other than he was the d-line coach at Houston(not exactly known for their defense).

If the kid was going to go to Oklahoma anyway, then that's one thing and I'd wish him well, it just strikes me as wrong to interview the dad 2 weeks before signing day.
From what I understand, is Jim Jeffcoat was #2 on OUs list when they hired Chris Wilson. I think it would be a good hire, plus Jacksons sister is already enrolled at OU.

supposedly, Jeffcoat interviewed in Austin and Norman this week. Sumlin fired the DC at UH a few weeks ago so there's no reason Coach Jeffcoat shouldn't interview around.
